Re: BAK Interbody fusion

: I have suffered with chronic back pain for almost 5 years now and have had 3 laminectomies in the past. Am now going to be seeing a Dr. who does the BAK interbody fusions and would love to talk to others who have had this procedure and what kind of outcome you had. I am about at the end of my rope and would like to communicate with others who have chronic back pain...I also have Fibromyalgia...anyone find anything that helps this?? Please write!!

Kim,I saw a former classmate today for the first time in 29 years. He is going in for the BAK procedure next week. He is very confident about this option and will stay in touch with me after his surgery. I am also a potential candidate for this operation as I have suffered with back pain since 1970 and have put it off for just about as long as I can. I, too, am very interested in his outcome. I'll let you know.
